Easy Instant Pot Steamed Crab Legs Recipe

Ingredients

• 1.5 cups water
• 2 pounds frozen king crab legs
• 1 medium lemon, juiced
• 0.33 cup butter, melted

Instructions

1. Gather all ingredients for your Instant Pot crab legs.
2. Place a trivet inside your Instant Pot and add water. Arrange the crab legs on top of the trivet, ensuring they fit properly (thawing slightly may be needed).
